A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 411



Episode 411

‘Simgeom?’

Zeke focused on Shaton’s sword.

But no matter how long I waited Shatton’s sword did not move.

“Shatton? Why is there nothing….”

At that moment Zeke felt something strange.

Swish!

In an instant his neck was cut off and he fell to the floor.

“omg!”

In that moment Zig suddenly came to his senses and opened his eyes.

Zig who grabbed his own neck with his hand realized that it was still attached as before.

‘What the heck happened?’

Just now he felt a vivid sensation of his neck falling off.

But when I came to my senses again everything was back to normal.

He turned his head and opened his mouth looking at where Shaton was.

“Shatton what is this…?”

But there was no one in the place where Shatun had been just a moment ago.

At the same time Zeke felt something strange.

This time his right arm was gone.

“uh…?”

I didn’t even feel like my arm was cut off nor did I realize when it happened.

All that remained was the result of the cut as if the arm had been cut off from the beginning.

When I came to this time my left arm and leg were gone one by one.

‘This is… a heart sword?’

Exactly!

Zig came to his senses with the sound of fingers snapping together.

Surprisingly Shatton was still in the same posture as when he first held the sword.

Zeke also remained in the same position he was in at the time not moving an inch.

His back was covered with cold sweat.

‘Welcome? No. It wasn’t a welcome. I was really struck.’

Shatton took a deep breath and nodded.

“How was it? It felt like being directly attacked by a spirit.”

Zeke was speechless.

He couldn’t even tell if what he had just experienced could be considered swordsmanship.

Zeke barely came to his senses and rubbed his face with his palms to wash it dry.

“Phew…..”

There were no actual scars on my body but I felt like my mind had been torn apart.

Zig seemed to have some idea why Shatton had called it a ‘heart sword’.

He said looking at Shatun.

“Is this something I can learn right now? I don’t even understand how it happened.”

Shatton smiled at Zeke’s words.

“It’s amazing that you even knew that. If it weren’t for you you wouldn’t have woken up the moment your throat was first cut.”

Zeke nodded to Shatton’s words.

Since he had already died once when his throat was cut off he really thought he had died again.

It couldn’t be compared to a pseudo-death created with a flimsy fantasy.

Zik said looking at Shaton.

“Sword of the Heart… Does this mean that if you cut an opponent with your will and heart without actually touching them it is the same as cutting them with a real sword?”

“If I had to explain it in words yes. But you would know. How difficult it is to cut someone with your heart.”

“Cut with your heart…..”

Zig’s head started to hurt for the first time in a long time because of a strange feeling that he knew something but at the same time had no clue.

When Zig reached a new level he was able to advance to the next level a little faster through a limit breakthrough.

However Shaton’s sword was on a level far beyond that.

Shatton said looking at Zig with a confused expression.

“I didn’t show you this insight because I thought you would learn it right away. I had hoped that if you planted the seed in the soil of Zeke Draker and quietly took root your sword would eventually reach your heart.”

It was a last-minute gain for Shatton Drake known as the Black Sword.

It would have been absurd for Zeke who had not yet reached the level of Grand Master to realize this right away.

Shatton paused for a moment and then looked at Zig.

“My time in the phenomenal world is almost up.”

“Already? Lord Caesar has been here for almost a month?”

“He is always special. Keep in mind that you are the successor to not only my sword but also Lord Kaiser’s sword. In fact there is no one in the world that can stand up to Lord Kaiser’s elemental sword.”

“Even the Demon King?”

“I think things wouldn’t have become this complicated if the Demon King had been resurrected when Caesar was still around.”

“If you were Kaiser would you have found a way to destroy the Demon King even if you were not immortal?”

“If you couldn’t destroy him you would have chased him to the end and tormented him endlessly until he destroyed himself.”

“ah….”

It was an answer that somehow made sense.

The spirit of Shatton Draker who had been chuckling at Zig’s soft words gradually became transparent.

“It was a pleasure to cross swords with such a talented descendant. May the rough future ahead of you be filled with peace and tranquility.”

As befitting a noble knight Shatton Draker left with an elegant greeting and slowly disappeared.

Zeke stared blankly at the place where he had disappeared then lowered his head.

“Thank you for your teachings noble knight. Rest in peace.”

The deep-rooted love he had planted took root in Zeke’s heart like his wind.

It was up to Zeke to decide how to sprout it.

‘There’s still a long way to go.’

As he was calming down a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

‘Magic reversal?’

Zig unfolded the information about the new and changing magic reversal.

―Skill Information―

Magic Reversal: Reverses the magic acting on the user causing the magic to flow backwards.

Zig was delighted to see the information about the magic reversal.

‘It means that if you use magic on me the magical power will flow back to me.’

If this explanation is correct the original effect of using magic blocking techniques to deal with magicians could have been further maximized.

‘It should be called ‘Magic Counterflow Technique’ instead of ‘Magic Sealing Technique’. What if we add an area-wide buff to it?’

If you expand the range of the magic counterflow technique it wouldn’t be impossible to deal with magicians on the battlefield all at once.

It was as if he had acquired a technique that would be advantageous when dealing with the wizards of the Abyss.

‘I have gained a lot from coming to the Forest of the Forgotten.’

Now all that remained was to free the sealed ‘God of the Earth’ as he had heard from Hyperion about Cronus’ message.

Zeke emerged from the Absolute Sword’s Bideon and flew his new form back towards the house in the forest where Nigel was.

“You’re digging a trap to capture Zeke Draker from the Abyss?”

Ramon Siemens looked up from his papers in the Siemens Labyrinth and asked.

Then the robed wizard nodded.

“Yes it seems that Azmun Barrios and the apostle who is acting as the consul have joined hands.”

At those words Ramon closed his papers and turned towards the wizard.

“Acting Butler. That’s the demon. Lopocale I think.”

Not only the priest but also Ramon Siemens had figured out Lopocale’s identity.

“That’s right. I’m a member of the slimy pit of darkness.”

“Hmm… A slimy pit of darkness. The shady constellation’s retinue and the sinister schemer have joined hands.”

The wizard said to Ramon Siemens.

“Isn’t this just a superficial alliance hiding each other’s true intentions?”

Ramon rested his chin on his hand and pondered the wizard’s words before slowly opening his mouth.

“What is the condition of the priests?”

“There hasn’t been any movement yet. I think he might be preparing the curse he put on Arthur Draker that I mentioned back then.”

Certainly if the priest could put a curse on Arthur Draker to kill or bind him the Siemens family could rise to the surface.

This is because even if you have the ROM it is difficult to make any real moves at the moment.

Because the moment he moved it was clear that the Draker family would strike at Siemens’ headquarters.

‘Arthur will just sit back and wait for me to make a move.’

Although he had made various arrangements behind the scenes he was well aware of Draker’s hidden strength.

That’s why it was difficult to move rashly.

If everything had gone according to plan Cain would have been baptized and become the successor to the Rom Empire and Abel would have taken over the Draker family and swept across the continent calmly preparing for the second baptism.

But all of the long-planned plans went awry due to an unexpected variable called Zeke Draker.

Ramon thought about it and then said to the wizard.

“We will also join forces with Azmoon and Lopocale’s plan to eliminate Sieg Drake once and for all this time.”

“Do we really need to come out like this? If Zeke Draker takes the bait and comes to Rom he’ll already be dead at that moment.”

“I thought so all along but he escaped every time. He even counterattacked us. I can’t tolerate this anymore. We must eliminate Zeke Draker before the upcoming second baptism.”

The wizard nodded at Ramon’s words.

“Okay what kind of troops should I send?”

“Prepare subject number 3.”

For a moment the wizard paused then slowly opened his mouth.

“My lord I think it’s too much to take it out just to catch one Zeke Draker.”

At those words Ramon looked at the wizard and said.

“Zeke Draker killed Abel after he had completed his first baptism. Do you still think that was excessive?”

“That’s… I think the dragon heart transplanted into Abel was too powerful so it caused side effects.”

“Every time I tried to belittle Zeke Draker like that I got beat up. Stop talking nonsense and get ready. This time we have to kill him. We can’t let him interfere with our work any longer.”

“…Understood my lord.”

Ramon continued.

“Is William still in custody at Heli?”

“Yes he is being held under the protection of the rebels led by Julius and the Knights of the Black Sword.”

Ramon frowned at the wizard’s words.

“Is the gold still working?”

“As long as the gold standard is in place even Zeke Draker can’t do anything about it.”

“Okay just go out there.”

The wizard bowed to Ramon and went out.

Ramon left alone slowly got up from his seat.

As he placed his palm on one side of the wall a magic circle appeared and a passageway was created where there was none before.

Ramon slowly walked down the passage.

Ramon went down the stairs and stood in front of the secretly made altar.

He looked at the altar took a dagger from his bosom and cut his palm.

Knock! Knock!

Blood from Ramon’s hand dripped onto the plate in front of him.

As blood filled the plate he rubbed the wound with his other hand.

Then surprisingly the wound on my wrist completely disappeared.

Ramon placed the plate containing the blood on the altar.

Then he started reciting the spell.

“??????????????????????????????????????????…”

A voice came out of his mouth that I couldn’t tell what language it was and I wasn’t even sure if it was a language.

A crimson mist rose from the plate placed on the altar.

Soon the mist gathered together and formed a vague shape.

Ramon opened his mouth towards the figure.

“Ajitahaka the unfortunate emperor who wanted to become a god but ended up falling from heaven without becoming a god.”

Kookookookookook!

As if responding to Ramon’s words the entire altar shook as the azalea flowers rippled greatly.

He said this while looking at the figure of Ajitahaka.

“The day the moon swallows the sun. The second baptism will begin. Before that foresee the future for me with the power of arrogance.”

The shape of Ajitahaka rippled and soon transformed into a circular mirror.

Ramon looked closely at the strange streams of smoke floating inside the mirror.

Then at one moment Ramon’s eyes grew wide.

“Ajitahaka. Is this future really the future that was foreseen?”

Ajitahaka’s form did not answer Ramon’s question and soon disappeared like smoke.

Ramon frowned as he looked at the statue depicting Ajitahaka in his lifetime placed on the altar.

‘It seems like the priest is up to something. I should look into it.’

Now that the second baptism was just around the corner I couldn’t ruin what had already been done.

Because on the day his baptism ended Ramon Siemens was able to be reborn again.

‘When that day comes everything will bow down before me.’
